I've had a couple, simple so they don't seem to brake much and when they do the parts are cheep and everything is easy to get to. The worst was my niece's 1990 dohc. She cracked the radiator which ran it dry and overheated it an cracked the head. Still new head and a week in my garage (mainly waiting on the eBay head) and it was going again. I think total it was $700 in parts, head, gaskets, radiator, new timing chain and water pump, all the fluids etc. Mine never needed more then a clutch, a starter, and a coolant sensor, it was a 2000 sc1 5-speed.
